I have been getting these for quite a few weeks, they are dodgy, they are sent from a lot of people in your contacts, and if you open them I believe it is a virus

The contacts that have been sending out these emails have had their computer security breached...under no circumstances click on the link in the email.

Link explaining it is Here

thanks....as i said, i did not click on anything, but i think sending a quick message to those contacts might not be a bad idea, i can imagine both my friends would have no idea they had been hijacked....

Have had a couple of these as well Nic.... I deleted them because they just did not look like something my friends would write to me so didnt even reply xx
